Is this identifiable?
(the two first pictures are of cuttings of the plant at the 3th picture, but grown under different conditions)
Thanks in advance

Re: ID please
thanks Orion!
In search of more information I read something about "reversion" from the Monstrose form to the normal one. Interesting.
It would be the case of the plant in the first picture?
thanks!

I think it's just a bit slow, not reverted. If you look closely it appears it had new cladodes beginning to grow near the bottom of the upper cladode, which is not where you'd expect to see them on a normal Opuntia. Looks like monstrose growth to me.
